Section Cut Widths not showing in layout
-
kass, thanks for checking this out for me.
Also, I am using the Skalp plugin. Thinking that it might be the problem, I've tried disabling the Skalp section layer, but the thick section lines did not appear. I'm still stumped!

OK, it must that particular model, because if I open another model file, then the cut section lines show in layout.
I will try deleting the model and starting again.

...UPDATE
I closed layout and re-opened it - no change.
I closed it again and re-opened it - SUCCESS. Cut section widths now restored. No idea what that was all about!! -
Not so quick, Cauldwell!
In order to get the section cut thickness to show in Layout, I've had to bump the section cut thickness up to 4 (in the model) which makes it look very chunky in the model, but correct in the Layout view. Very odd.

Check your SKALP section scale settings, I suspect you need to adjust to the correct scale (as intended in Layout) there.

I've never set the section cut width using Skalp before. I understand the need to control the hatch scale by setting the scale in Skalp, but not the section cut width - I usually set this thro the 'style' menu in SU.
I've tried several options and still I can't nail this. It seems to be something in the model that is not set right. (I blame my cat - she is always walking across the keyboard!).I will try some more setting tomorrow.
Cheers

I'd be very thankful if you found a way to disable section profiles altogether. They always mess my models, so if you do, please share!

I've now disabled Skalp, and that seems to have fixed the problem.
I now need to work out why Skalp is causing the problem.

I still can't figure this out. But so I can get on with my work I've resorted to using 'hybrid' render mode in layout which seems to work ok (I usually only use 'render' mode).

Well it looks like in its 'non-section cut activated' setting Skalp actually disables the native SU section cuts, which is annoying.
At the moment I am experimenting by activating Skalp section cut widths ( a sophistication I could do without) to see if I can get my section cuts back in Layout. -
Managing section cut widths isn't such a terrible thing, setting them up is quite easy, after that just a case of picking the right material, I use the "by layer" method, it is a little easier to manage IMO.
